Masterplan & Studies

“We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.”
— George Bernard Shaw

TLB Architecture assists both public and private sector clients, through a dynamic and rigorous design process, to respond to the challenges that must inform the future of their town, main street, campus, park or individual building asset.  Key to the process is striking a balance between envisioning what might be possible, and what is likely to be achievable, in large part through the identification of opportunities and constraints. As team leader on multi-disciplined projects, we’ve developed revitalization plans, restoration plans, addressed parking, traffic calming, vehicular and pedestrian circulation systems and identified sites for future expansion; all in support of our clients’ goals for economic development, campus/facility expansion or restoration, and all in alignment with our passion for placemaking.  We have completed numerous master planning, feasibility studies and facility assessment projects for various historic buildings, municipal facilities, town centers, college and university buildings, and institutional clients that were successful in proceeding to the implementation phase, many funded through Federal or State Grants.
